Yes, every word of it straight off without even "thinking".

Isn't that fascinating, and scary for some reason too, lol.

Good one.

Ok, most of it I breezed through without a hitch. It is pretty amazing, really. I have to admit I got hung up in the last paragraph with "the human mind does not..." because "mind" and "does" have unnecessary spaces

So, you're saying I'm an idiot because I hit the breaks, but it was a set up!

Just kidding. I was aware of this before, and decided to take it one step further (recognition of complete jibberish)...the study is incomplete...

Default Wow this interesting stuff.

So this was a major university's research very interesting to show that a message like that can still be read and understood.It was a fun thing to look through too.What will they think of next.

Yeah a friend of mine emailed it to me yesterday.

Sorry Rasko , I just did a cut and paste job straight from the email, the entire wording is from the email and I'm not implying that anyone's an idiot if they cant read it, sorry it was well past my bedtime when I posted it

Reading it is one thing, writing it is another though, IMO. It's all very clever.

People just like to test how well others can read... Regardless of spelling
But yes, the writing you see on other forums can be quite excruciating.
